Here's Ray McGovern's essay on the event.

‘Turnkey Tyranny’ on the Streets of Washington

Gerry Condon, President of Veterans For Peace, was bloodied and “taken to ground,” on Wednesday night for trying to get food to people inside the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington. The activists inside, some of whom have lived in the embassy for weeks with permission from the Venezuelan government, are protecting the premises from protestors who support the self-declared president Juan Guaido.

With the acquiescence of Washington police and the Secret Service, the protestors have been able to block food from entering the embassy. On Wednesday night electricity was cut to the building. One activist tossing a loaf of bread to a window was arrested earlier this week for using a “missile.” Now Condon has been manhandled and nabbed for throwing a cucumber.

We are at the point Edward Snowden described as “turnkey tyranny.” On Wednesday night the key was turned a bit more dramatically. Until now it has been an almost imperceptibly gradual process, like the proverbial frog in boiling water.

Ray quoted this in 2007:

“There are few things as odd as the calm, superior indifference with which I and those like me watched the beginnings of the Nazi revolution in Germany, as if from a box at the theater. … Perhaps the only comparably odd thing is the way that now, years later….”

He then describes what happened during the Bush administration with the illegal spying on us after the Event on 9/11/2001 that was done for various reasons which one was to nullify the constitution. After the patriot act was passed it did become just a gawd damned piece of paper.

Police and secret service have done nothing to stop the Guaido goons from blocking people who are trying to bring food into the embassy and earlier today the power and water to it was cut. The embassy sitters have permission from the Madura administration to occupy it in order to keep those loyal to Guaido out. Someone gave them the order to do nothing to the Guaido thugs. This is against international law.
